python-forum source language - hbknjr - Sep-11-2017
What is the python-forum websites' source language (I hope it's Python)?
And is it open source(doesn't seem like it)?
RE: python-forum source language - nilamo - Sep-11-2017
PHP - we didn't build the forum software.
Yes, mybb is open source.

And we've looked into a forum written in Python. There isn't a good one available, and attempts to write one did not go anywhere.

The forum looked similar to flaskbb, so I thought python was used.[started learning PHP, already hate it]
Well if you guys start writing one, I think people will contribute.

That's just an ide, though, not a forum.

Is there any interest in continuing that? I've been looking for an excuse to learn Angular...
Although, I think I hate mongo for this, so I'd probably want to rewrite the database layer. Specifically, I'd want to just write a wrapper over the database mybb uses, so it can run side-by-side to the real forum, on a read-only basis, while the kinks were worked out.
RE: python-forum source language - metulburr - Sep-11-2017
I wouldnt mind jumping in. Not sure how much i can contribute though. Plus that is not my area of expertise. But i would love to see one day this forum run in python.
EDIT:
I would have to admit after watching mybb develop. The amount of work for MyBB is massive. I couldnt imagine the amount of work must be involved to undertake creating a forum from scratch.

The only worry i have is any security leak bugs in the python read only that we havent identified leaving the real database vulnerable.

That's only an issue if it's actually live. I was just going to run it with an older backup of the forum locally (or on one of my private servers). It doesn't really make sense for joe-user to be able to log into something that they can't also make posts on, lol
